Anyway, Prue, wasn't it John Thaw who was Old Harry Bangate in the Broads film? That'd write him off as Captain Flint, wouldn't it?
Personally, I give two cheers for Ronald Fraser -- he didn't quite match up to my picture of Captain Flint, but I thought he did a pretty good job. And given that they're all imaginary characters we;re dealing with anyway, no real actor could ever actually fit every viewer's conception of what the chcracter should look like.
